Single screens, multiplexes, drama theatres and auditoriums will reopen across the state from October 22 on the condition that they follow Covid-19-related health protocols, which will soon be issued by the government.

CM Uddhav Thackeray announced this after meeting eminent people from the entertainment industry on Saturday. The State Covid Task Force members also participated in the deliberations that were held after the industry’s demand for not delaying the resumption further.
